Please pray as India’s Supreme Court reviews anti-conversion laws
The Supreme Court of India is reviewing petitions challenging anti-conversion laws in 12 Indian states — laws that restrict religious freedom and are often used to harass believers.

On November 4, the Court issued a new notice regarding Rajasthan’s Prohibition of Unlawful Conversion of Religion Act (2025) — described by counsel as “the most egregious” of all such laws. The Act allows fines up to $25,000 and prison terms of 20 years to life for so-called “unlawful conversions.” It also authorizes government officials to confiscate and demolish private property linked to these alleged conversions — even before any court has determined guilt.

Justices have expressed concern that these measures violate India’s constitutional rights to privacy, due process, and freedom of conscience. A comprehensive nationwide ruling could follow as the Court considers a stay on these laws while hearings continue.

🙏 Pray for justice, wisdom, and courage for the judges; for protection and boldness for believers and house-church leaders; and for true freedom of faith to be upheld across India.
